Live Classes and the Curriculum

The classroom is in the app

There is no separate video site. A class opens as a window in QuantIDE with a roster, a chat and a class timer, next to the editor you are working in. What the instructor does, you can do in the next pane, on your own machine.

Instructors share their screen, and when your code breaks they can take over and fix it in front of you, rather than describing the fix in a forum reply three days later.

Finding and joining a class

• The Academy tab → Classes shows a three-week calendar. "For you" narrows it to the courses your path says to take next.
• Register to take a seat. Seats are limited and registration closes ahead of class, so register early.
• You get an email the day before and a desktop notice fifteen minutes before.
• There are no cohorts. Lectures recur on a rotation, so if you miss one, it comes round again — early lectures most often.

The curriculum

Thirteen subject areas, from Markets and Programming to Execution, Systems, Risk, Machine Learning and Mathematics. Each area runs four levels, and each level has its own goal:

• 100 — Make it work.
• 200 — Make it right.
• 300 — Make it fast and big.
• 400 — Specialize: choose three electives, plus the capstone.

You build from the first term: a first algorithm in Python, then an order book, a benchmarked matching engine, Rust and concurrency. C++ is covered alongside Python and Rust.

What you can do along the way

• 01Backtest a strategy.
• 02Paper trade with a real broker.
• 03Trade live, automated.
• 04Publish your research.
• 05Publish your Stack — the capstone, and the portfolio you apply for quant roles with.
• 06Teach in the Academy.

Where it leads

Roles with QuantIDE open at the higher levels, and they are earned through your Stack and your work — enrolling does not guarantee one. What the Academy does guarantee is the path, the people, and the tools to walk it.
